FDA Adds New Warnings to All Testosterone Product Labels

Testosterone and other AAS, which have a schedule III classification by the Controlled Substances Act, may be abused by adults and adolescents, including athletes and body builders.

“Abuse of testosterone, usually at doses higher than those typically prescribed and usually in conjunction with other AAS, is associated with serious safety risks affecting the heart, brain, liver, mental health, and endocrine system,” the FDA notes.

Reported serious adverse outcomes include myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, depression, hostility, aggression, liver toxicity, and male infertility. People abusing high doses of testosterone have also reported withdrawal symptoms, such as depression, fatigue, irritability, loss of appetite, decreased libido, and insomnia, the agency says.

It is interesting you no longer see those Low-T commercials on television any more.  Really?  Just another clever marketing campaign to create a disease that doesn’t exist along with a convenient drug based solution.  What side effects?

Read this book.  Now.

Rutgers Residence Hall Warns Students Against ‘Microassaults,’ ‘Microinsults’ & ‘Microinvalidations’ – Liberty Blitzkrieg

Just when you thought you had a handle on the treasonous thought-police infractions known as microagressions, folks at Rutgers University had to go ahead and further muddy the waters of what is and isn’t allowed to be uttered on today’s college campuses. Since I know you’re all dying to find out, let’s turn to Campus Reform to learn about…

Rutgers keeps calling me for donations.

The mass brainwashing of our young appears to be complete.

CNS – Pfizer to Face Testosterone Claims

Source: CNS – Pfizer to Face Testosterone Claims After All

   The multi-district master complaint asserted 10 primary state law claims, including strict liability based on design defect and failure to warn, negligence, breach of implied and express warranty, fraud, consumer protection, and unjust enrichment.
The plaintiffs also allege non-tort claims for wrongful death, survival, loss of consortium, and punitive damages.

One of the books I’m reading is Powerful Medicines – The Benefits, Risks, and Costs of Prescription Drugs written by Jerry Avorn M.D.  Definitely a fun read in  the context of our culture’s addiction to the quick fix.  Whatever ails you there is a pill that promises to fix everything.  Dr. Avorn’s book is packed with information.  Simply stated, there are benefits and risks associated with any medication.  Ultimately it is the consumer’s responsibility to know and understand what those benefits and risks are with anything you put in your body.

It was clear to me from the beginning that the unsuspecting and too trustful public was going to be introduced to a new disease  Low-T.  The pharmaceutical strategy  was just another medicalization of a natural process.

More. Drugs. Please.

A good day is a day without earthquakes.
